Does the phone have 1 lines, or 2 lines (I need to be able to plug a fax in and leave it plugged in, so need a 2 line phone) Thanks.

CS6649-2 is a one line phone system. Unless you require a dedicated phone line for fax only, you do not necessarily need 2 different lines to integrate a phone and fax device.

Our phone only has one line. Perhaps there is a different model with two or more, but I am not aware of it.

Each handset has a "line 1" and "line 2" key. In order to make a call or answer a call, you must select a line. If you select a line that is in use, of course it will interrupt the call in progress.

Yes, it does. In fact it has two. One for the phone line and one that can go to a fax machine. The smaller of the two bases does not have a jack though, as it only serves to charge the second phone. Both phones get their signal through line connected to the main larger base.

Yes it does have 2-line function. Line A and Line B. Push menu then go to phone initial settings, then go to, set telephone line.

Bobby G., There are two phone plugs located on the side of the unit, one is labeled 'PHONE' the other is 'LINE'. from: Enrique Cuano.

YES! In fact it is my favorite part of this machine. You plug in a phone line and tell it to share the line. There is no separate line needed. The phone rings to receive calls and when a fax comes in the phone rings and the printer turns on and receives the fax. So much easier than other machines I have used. Faxing is just as easy. Put it in the scanner. Select fax function, put in your number and press OK. All done.

Depends. Are you saying of the two physical different land lines, you want one land line to have a phone and a fax on it? If that is the case, then yes, this would work to split the same phone line into two phone jack ports for you to use your fax and phone. If you have two phone numbers (aka 2 land lines), then you wouldn't need this if you're going to use one phone number exclusively for the fax -- just plug that one into the fax and the other phone number (land line) to your phone. I use this to split the same land line for a fax and a phone and it works just fine.

it takes a normal phone cord. If you look at the tip you'll see it has 4 copper contacts. The middle two pins are one line, and the outer two pins are the second line. I say this because if you grab another phone cord to extend the phone from the wall plug, you'll need to make sure your longer cord has all 4 contacts. Fax machines usually come with only the two copper contacts and if you use a cord like this your second line won't have a connection. I say this because I had a customer do this and then blame me for screwing up the installation.

You can have only 1 line active while talking and put other lines in hold. You can also merge multiple calls from different lines in 1 single call. This phone support up to 5 lines.

You can always plug multiple items on one phone line. You can only use one at once. If you receive faxes, you just need to make sure only one is in answer mode.

I do not have this phone connected to a FAX Machine but I see no problem with this phone working correctly with one attached. You might need to set the FAX Machine to answer the call only when you need it to.

No, the phone itself is a single-line phone, not two-line. Typically, two-line phones offer what they call a "conference" feature whereby you could patch in a third party to the initial or current call with the second party. Also, any phone will do 3-way calling if you have 3-way calling service via your provider (telephone company). Generally, the telephone company will charge you for this service and/or they offer 3-way service as part of a customized services package. So, technically speaking, you could still use this cordless phone provided you have the 3-way service implemented by your telephone company. I hope this helps. Best wishes!

Does anyone know how to make the answering machine work for line 2 when I am talking on line 1? I have two phone lines connected to it and I can't seem to get that to happen. It just rings and rings.

No, picking up a second handset just joins you with the current call. You would need multiple lines to accomplish that, as a business might have

Yes, if you have a 2 line phone that means there are 2 separate lines for calls

to make faxes you only need one dedicated phone line.. I plug my phone line in the printer going in and the phone line going out these are on the rear of the printer .. I fax with mine all the time..

Yes, there is a jack for a single line and a jack for 2 lines. It really only depends on the phone line you use. A phone cord with 4 prongs are for two lines and 2 prongs are for 1 line
